Imperial.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Wang Tanzhi, the eunuch, walked along the path in the garden through the guards, and the flowers and trees outside the palace had long withered and withered, but in this imperial garden, it was full of flowers and evergreen.

At this time, the sky was as gloomy as ink, and the cold wind howling outside the palace blew over the imperial garden, faintly bringing a trace of coldness.

"I'm afraid it's going to snow!" Wang Tanzhi thought secretly.

As he was walking, there was a faint snort of a sharp blade piercing the air from a distance, and after a few more steps, he saw a sturdy figure in a clearing in the garden performing a knife technique, fierce and fast as lightning.

All around, facing outward, stood a number of eunuchs, court maids, and imperial guards.

The eunuch led Wang Tanzhi closer and motioned for Wang Tanzhi to wait for a while, and wait for the person who practiced the sword to stop and then report it.

Soon, Zhao Junsheng stopped putting away the knife, and a palace maid next to him immediately stepped forward and handed over a towel.

The eunuch who led the way stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Wang Sicheng, who is waiting for the lawsuit, has arrived!" ”

Wang Tan stepped forward and clenched his fists: "Minister, Wang Tanzhi, see Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng wiped his sweat and waved his hand, telling the eunuchs, palace maids and guards to retreat, and soon only he and Wang Tanzhi were left here.

"Tanzhi, I haven't seen you since I saw you?"

Wang Tanzhi said: "Back to Your Majesty, more than half a year has passed since Your Majesty left the palace and went to Liangzhou and led the troops into Bashu, during which Your Majesty has not seen Weichen!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Why haven't I seen you for so long?" Is it because you're not with me! ”

"Back to Your Majesty, distance is not a problem, if necessary, even if it is thousands of miles away, the minister will rush to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not seen Weichen for so long, because Your Majesty is not in Chang'an during this time, the ministers of the court and officials from all over the country really have nothing worthy of Your Majesty to know and ask in time!"

"There are some things during this period, but they are not a big problem, Weichen has already copied them one by one from the reports sent from all over the country, please take a look at your majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng put down the knife and towel, took the fold handed over by Wang Tanzhi, he walked to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down, opened the fold and looked at it carefully.

"On April 29, Wannian County ordered Wu Dawei to be greedy for sixty times!"

"On the second day of the fifth month, Zhang Yu, the Cheng of Luoyang Mansion, used his power for personal gain and sold his official beard!"

"On the second day of the fifth month, Liu Tong, the son of Yin Liu Dan of Qianjing Mansion, robbed the people's daughter!"

"On the fourth day of the fifth month, Fan Xin, the Thorn of Qingzhou, sent someone to send a hundred catties of gold to the prince, a bucket of pearls in the East China Sea, and a three-foot high-blooded coral!"

Zhao Junsheng glanced at ten lines, and after reading the content written on the fold, it took a whole cup of tea.

Wang Tanzhi stood aside, his hands naturally hanging down, and his eyes slightly closed.

Zhao Junhang read the excerpt, pondered for a while, raised his head and said to Wang Tanzhi: "Very well done!" ”

"This is the duty of the minister!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Tanzhi, there is one thing I want you to run in person!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

"Kuhehan fought well in the west of the Green Ridge, and laid down a large area of land in just half a year, but the imperial court still doesn't know anything about it, and what it knows is only a scale and a half claw described in the war report sent by Kuhehan.

"Besides, the Rouran people are also a scourge, although our dynasty has defeated the Rouran people and surrendered more than 100,000 Rouran people, but there are still some Rouran people who have fled north under the leadership of Princess Tuzhen, and these hundreds of thousands of Rouran people who have been surrendered by our dynasty are not easy to settle, let them continue to stay in the Mobei grassland, I am afraid that it will also be a problem to raise tigers, so I let them follow the Kuhehan army to move west, and it is also saved to lead this Rouran to the Rouran people, but whether it is the Kuhehan army, or these hundreds of thousands of Rouran people cannot get out of the control of my Daqian!"

"Therefore, I need to know the specific situation and movements of this army mixed with the Rouran cavalry, the Western Regions Alliance Army and our Han Army at all times, including the hundreds of thousands of Rouran people, I need you to personally go there to establish a branch of the Waiting Lawsuit, looking for candidates to collect relevant information, not only the Rouran people must be under the supervision of the Waiting Lawsuit, but the Western Regions Branch of the Waiting Lawsuit Division also pays attention to the dynamics of the Waiter people, Persians, and even the Romans!"

Wang Tanzhi knew that he couldn't refuse, no one dared to resist the emperor's will, and there was only one end of resistance, death! It may even affect family members and clans.

"Command! I don't know when the minister will leave? ”

"I give you three days to prepare, and after three days, we must set off as soon as possible, and we must establish the Western Regions branch as soon as possible!"

"No!"

After Wang Tanzhi left, Zhao Junsheng sat on the stone bench for a long time.

"Someone!"

A eunuch came over and bowed down and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Go find Lin Jinghui and let him come to see me!"

"No!"

Soon, Lin Jinghui hurried over.

"Your Majesty!"

Although the ministers and officials of the Qianguo court are very vigilant and vigilant about this, they have also become accustomed to its existence, and for the time being, there has not been a matter of ministers requesting the abolition of this yamen, and the black-clothed guard yamen and the various yamen of the imperial court are also at peace.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand to signal Lin Jinghui to excuse him, and said: "I have brought you here, there is something I want you to do, in the past six months, I have not been in Chang'an, whether the pattern of the court has changed, what has changed, I don't know very well, I want the black-clothed guard to check and give me a report as soon as possible, this matter is confidential, only you and I know, go!" ”

"Obey orders!" Lin Jinghui saluted and retreated.

Three days later.

Wang Tanzhi left Chang'an on business and went to the Western Regions, waiting for the lawsuit, and Si Cheng Jia Yue was in charge of daily affairs.

This morning, Jia Yue came to the waiting office to handle official business, and as soon as he got off the carriage, someone stepped forward and asked, "Is it Jia Sicheng, the waiting officer?" ”

Jia Yue saw that it was a eunuch, he was shocked, but he didn't dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly lowered his posture: "It's the lower official, I don't know why the father-in-law is looking for the lower official?" ”

"There is a noble man who wants to see Si Cheng, and he also asks Si Cheng to go with our family!"

Jia Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Then how about waiting for the lower officials to arrange the affairs of the yamen and then go with the father-in-law?" ”

The eunuch said: "Your nobleman's time is precious, I'm afraid I can't afford to wait for Jia Sicheng!" ”

"Yes, yes, then ask your father-in-law to lead the way!"

"You go with our family and get in the car!"

Jia Yue was helpless, so he had to get into the carriage next to him.

The carriage was closed on all sides, and I don't know how many streets it had walked and how many turns it had turned.

"Please get out of the car!"

Jia Yue got out of the carriage and was led by the little eunuch to another wide carriage, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he saw an old eunuch with white eyebrows staring at him.

Jia Yue only felt that the old eunuch was a little familiar, but he quickly remembered that this was Kang Yide, the eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, and he immediately bowed down and said: "It turned out to be Chief Kang, and the lower official gave a salute to his father-in-law!" ”

Kang Yide stretched out his hand to help Jia Yue and said: "Jia Sicheng is exempt, today our family sent someone to find Jia Sicheng at the will of His Majesty!" ”

Jia Yue's heart jumped, and he hurriedly bowed his hand respectfully: "I don't know what Your Majesty's will is for the lower officials?" ”

Kang Yide arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said: "Your Majesty's message: First, I want to know the changes in the political power structure of the court in the past half a year, whether there have been any close exchanges between ministers and generals, between ministers and generals, between ministers and generals, between relatives of the emperor and ministers and generals, between local officials and princes and relatives; Second, what is the situation of the elaborate spy activities planted by the Southern Dynasties and their subordinate states and various countries in our country? These two things, no matter how big or small, are reported together, and this matter must not be disclosed to another fourth person! ”

Jia Yue was horrified in his heart, the emperor asked Wang Tanzhi to report on the situation of the ministers, generals and officials of the court in the past six months, he knew about it, and now the emperor asked him to report the relevant situation again, what does this mean? And he sent someone to find him after Wang Tanzhi left.

Could it be that the emperor no longer trusts Wang Tanzhi? Otherwise, why did he transfer Wang Tanzhi away at this juncture, and in turn send someone to find him to investigate?

Since the establishment of the Waiting Lawsuit Division, the Yamen has been very calm, all relevant departments perform their duties, the emperor is very assured of the ability and efficiency of the Waiting Lawsuit, there is never a shortage of funds, and the benefits are better than any Yamen, but now what makes the emperor suspicious?

If the emperor is just suspicious of Wang Tan, it's okay, if the emperor has distrusted the entire waiting lawsuit, this is terrible, you must know that the real function of the waiting lawsuit has not been revealed in front of people, that is to say, its real function is a separate system that outsiders can't see, as long as the emperor says a word, the entire waiting lawsuit intelligence system can be razed to the ground overnight, and the waiting lawsuit shown in front of people can be retained, as if nothing happened.

Seeing that Jia Yue didn't speak, Kang Yide asked, "What?" Jia Sicheng doesn't want to be edicted? ”

Jia Yue was so frightened that his body trembled, what kind of joke are you making, don't obey the edict? I don't know how he died, he hurriedly said: "No, no, the relevant news is recorded in detail in the secret archive and can be retrieved at any time, but the top-secret news of the Son of Heaven is only authorized by Si Zheng, and no one else can access it!" ”

Condus took out a gold medal and handed it over: "Take it, you can access any file!" ”

Jia Yue took the gold medal and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "If I am here!" ”

, Jia Yue's heart jumped, this thing can ignore all rules and systems!

He swallowed his saliva, hid the gold medal in his arms, and saluted: "Obey the order!" I wonder when Your Majesty will need it? ”

"Tonight, our family will wait for you outside the palace gate, and then you will go with our family to face the saint!"

"Got it!"

Kang Yide stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the car and instructed the little eunuch outside: "Send Jia Sicheng back to the yamen of the lawsuit!" ”

"No!"

Jia Yue arched his hand to Conyid, exited the carriage, and rushed back to the carriage when he got up.
